CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 313

119th Congress · Session 2 · September 16, 2026

A fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to pass

The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not.

What was being voted on

119-HR-9497 — Water Resources Development Act of 2026

This Act provides for improvements to rivers and harbors in the United States and the conservation and development of water and related resources. The legislation establishes new program offices within the Directorate of Civil Works, such as the Office of Inland Navigation Construction Management and the Office of Water Supply, Water Conservation, and Drought Resiliency. It authorizes numerous feasibility studies, project modifications, and environmental infrastructure projects across the country.
